"Atlansia is a famous workshop that has been supporting Japanese guitar making for a long time.
Its unique design is highly regarded both in Japan and overseas, and it is respected by many luthiers and musicians.
This model is a Garland Bass manufactured in 1983.
It is a traditional shape that is highly popular among the brand.
The body is made of Sen and the fingerboard is made of ebony or persimmon, which is a typical Atlansia wood composition.
The roundness of the neck is very distinctive, but at the same time, it is surprisingly comfortable to the fingers.
The finish of the fingerboard edge and the finish of the neck shape are excellent, which is probably why this individuality is utilized as excellent playability.
This model does not have a truss rod, but the neck is very secure.
The pickup is also unique and original.
The fact that the PU can be rotated is a very unique mechanism.
Fine adjustments can be made for each string.
The sound is fat and the center of gravity is very low.
This is a very unique model, but it is a bass that feels convincing when you actually play it.
As an aside, there are repair notes from the builder at key points.
This is a highlight for enthusiasts.
Approximately 70% of the frets remain.
The neck is in good condition, with no significant warping or twisting, and is within the appropriate setting range, and playability is good.
The body and paint show signs of use such as scratches and dents, but these are within reasonable limits considering the age, and the guitar is in good condition overall.
The electrical system is in good condition.
The rubber part of the endpin has been replaced, and a thin piece of wood has been pasted into the gap in the neck pocket to improve the fitting precision. All of this work was carefully carried out by the builder, Mr. Hayashi.
